I had my ear pierced last year by Kat. She was amazing. The piercing fell out the other day, and she replaced it because I couldn't get it back in myself. I went in the first time with a major migraine, you migraine sufferers know the ones that make you think cutting your head off is a good idea. That migraine was gone before I stood up. I have not had another migraine, or even a headache, since. What I can say is I have been there twice, its clean, everyone is curious and friendly, and from what I could see the tattoos were beautiful.

Two of my three tattoos have been done by Garreth and many more will be added in the future. Love this studio. They have an awesome vision and are very clean and courteous. I've also been pierced here by Kat and she did a great job, I couldn't be happier!

They were great! My daughter just turned 5 and got her ears pierced one at a time and the lady did a phenomenal job....

Fallon is amazing, she did my belly button piercing and it looks fan-tabulous! I love her, thank you so much! I hope to go back again! Great place <3

I got an eyebrow piercing from Fallon last week and the way she did it caused me a lot of pain. Augusta is a far distance from where I live so i had to go to Kokopeli’s in Bangor and they offered to take it out and replace it as the bar she gave me initially was way too small for swelling and caused consistent headaches. Turns out I can’t even fit a bigger bar in the piercing hole because the holes are way too far apart, so now I have to wait 3 months to get another eyebrow piercing on that same side. Will not be going back, and will be going to a different shop that I trust.
Don’t get a piercing here, go somewhere else like in Portland maybe.

Waited an hour to not get helped to buy a piece of jewelry. Is there any reason only the piercer can sell jewelry? Heck you only got the 2nd star because kobleigh works there. Get it together dude's.

I've collected some amazing tattoos from all over the US by some of the best artist, and by far, G is up there as one of my favorites! Incredibly talented, fantastic work ethic, and just all around a really awesome down to earth dude. The shop is very clean, well organized, and has a very open welcoming feel. Best shop in all of Maine. Thanks again G!

Let me say first of all that I have quite a bit of ink done in different shops, by different artists so I'm not new to the tattoo world at all.
I've gotten three different tattoos here done by Garreth, one complete piece on my leg (water color tattoo), a very small tattoo on my wrist (no blow out and tiny tattoos in black can do that...especially on hands and wrists) and a half sleeve that is a work in progress currently, mostly complete. My sister has one piece done here by Garreth (blue toned water color on her wrist). They were very accommodating to her and her panic disorder.
The shop is very clean and the atmosphere is pretty typical for a tattoo shop in general, if you've been inked before you'll know what I mean. It's actually one of the few in the area that doesn't smell like marijuana, not even the slightest whiff.
I have other tattoos, some from decently famous artists across the USA and I'd have to say the quality isn't an issue with this shop, Garreth is a great artist and refuses to copy someone else's work or images from online, which is becoming more and more rare these days. He is very good at taking ideas and running with them to create a truly masterful work of art.
Now I have had some color loss on my incomplete sleeve from the healing process, but that's just what it is...from the healing process. It will be repairable when we get another session to work on it again. Some colors are harder to get to stay and some areas are harder to ink. Just like some areas are prone to blow outs. That's just the facts of tattoo life.

Got my lobes and nostril pierced in one go about two months ago. I have no complaints about the piercers attitude or professionalism during the piercing. However, she pierced my nostril with an l-shaped stud. I’ve since learned through research that nostril piercings really need to be done with a labret bar style stud or at least a corkscrew stud. Mine has gotten caught and pulled out three times so far which has been stressful, painful, and has disrupted the healing process. I don’t recommend getting this type of piercing done here unless they change their starter jewelry. My ear piercings have healed great though, so those are safe.
